The Vans Aged Leather Collection

Vans is a company predominantly known for its shoes, and although it manufactures a range of clothing and accessories, it is still most popular for products such as the chessboard slip-on and more traditional skateboarding-style footwear.

September saw the release of a new collection of Vans shoes featuring aged leather. This material helps to give each model a more refined and luxury appearance. The Slip-On, Era and Sk8-Hi styles are all available in this release in a black or brown option. The classic vulcanised waffle sole comes as standard and as expected, the Sk8-Hi variant features the ‘jazz stripe’ that has helped to distinguish the brand.

This is definitely a type of Vans shoe that you wouldn’t wear for skateboarding.
